i know i know its been way too long since my last post. That's probably because FB is just a whole lot better for 'talking' to my customers and from now on , this blog will be about family stuff , coffee stuff , travel stuff ( u get it )
and as storage for photos i dont want to print but dont want to delete.
and for pretty much everything else.
Que and I bought a house last year but we're not exactly rushing to move in . So we took our time to DIY most of the house. When we took a look at the house the very first time , what struck us was how charming and cozy the house look. Of course the owner did everything in the 'How to Set Up Your Home For Sale' book , he had the music on , the lights dimmed , cinnamon sticks in bowl and even flowers in the toilet . In the toilet.
but it must've worked because we put down a deposit 24 hours later.
we're such suckers.

Beach wedding
Every now and then i get a request to make flower girl dresses for destination weddings. This customer brought to our sewing studio luxurious Thai Shantung silk to into a flower girl dress. But after discussing the design, she decided to use our luxurious Duchess Satin instead and have us turn the fabric she brought into a traditional baju Melayu for her son.
Having cut the fabric , i realized that there was enough remnant to make a simple tunic for her daughter ( which i think , paired with capris will look fab at the beach ). She requested that we turn it into a ruffle blouse. After carefully measuring and cutting the fabric ( to make sure there's enough remnant to use ) , here's the completed outfit - a flower girl dress for the beach wedding , a baju Melayu and a three tier ruffle top .

NEW KIDS FABRICS JUNE 2012 PART 2
I am a huge huge fan of Robert Kaufman . So its no surprise that we stock so many of his fabrics . My personal favourite is this Vroom collection by Leslie Grainger for Robert Kaufman. RM45/m ( Umar's toy not included )
You can have us turn these fabrics into adorable baby sets or pretty much anything that can be sewn. We also sell them by the metres ( subject to availability ) . These are really the highest quality cotton out there in the most intense colors . The material softens with age and last a very long time. You can order quilts , blankets , pillows , bolsters , toy bags etc from us using a combination of fabrics . It'll be fab, i promise :)

and here's the coordinating fabric. Also RM45/m
I also picked some of our popular images like bears and cradles and layettes in soft pastels.
Sleepy Time Panel by Fabri Quilt Inc. This material is flannel, not woven cotton . RM 45/m. Which would go perfectly with the coordinating cotton fabric below ( RM45/m )
And because we love both baby boys and girls alike , again Sleepy Time by Fabri Quilt Inc in pink. Both as flannel panel and coordinates. RM 45/m.
